Cursing?
 

How graphical text is allowed in TFP? I understand negative comments and getting down to personal issues with people are a no-no, but can I say "hell" or "heck" or "damn" when I jut feel like illustrating my opinion?

I used to attend one board with this same board system and they had a word censure system. Endless hours of fun! Someone typed "assassins" and it came out as buttbuttins and analysing was also changed to something complitely different. omeone else mentioned Moby Dick when discussing literacy.. It was hilarious, as you don't always notice all those things, but the computer does. All hail Big Brother. :)

Fuck yeah you can swear. :)

Right-O. :)

cussing is fine, if you can't get your point across any other way. remember that the more you cuss, the less intelligent you sound, though, as a rule. Sometimes it's just called for, though, so don't feel like you're gonna get ***'ed out or nuffin'.

to reuse an example that's NOT mine:

Saying "that fucking thing" is okay.

Saying "fuck you" is not.

Cursing seems to speak to me of a limited vocabulary, at least when it's used tastelessly. By the way, billege, nice sig. Yay for Danae.

...like I was saying about looking rather unintelligent when using profanity when it's unneeded...

Swearage is a natural form of expression in today's world...

I feel more succint if I say "Fuck. Shit. Cunt. OW!" when I hit my thumb with a hammer than if I say "That might have burst some capillaries in my opposable appendage and damaged my nervous system."

There's a place and time for everything...

It's not that I want to swear. I just like knowing we can, because that means we can do lots of other cool stuff too. ;)

what the fucking fuck! Fucking swearing shit is pissing me off! What kind of bullshit fucking site doesn't let you fucking swear? Jesus Christ! I mean really, what the fuck? :)

Sorry about the blue streak, that's the longshoreman in me, I wish he would be gentler.

you wanna explain to some 13 yr old kid's mom when she catches him sounding out "cunt fucker" and "twat" in his room?

13 yr kid, I'm thinking if there's a 13yr on here looking at "off to the wayside" at whips and ropes and cumshots with more seman than the US Navy, I'm thinking the ocational "shit" is the least of our worries. but, thats just my opinion....I could be wrong.

very true, and we do everything we can to keep the squirts out, BUT, in general, with MOST forums, this isn't true, and anyone over the age of 13 is allowed. so everyone ELSE has to worry about mommy and daddy, which is why no one else leaves the language filters off of their fora.

...and now you know. ;)

Perhaps the current political topics in the world are more vulger and offinsive than certain four-letter-words.

Pictures of boobies and such should be posted without controversy while suicide bombers and terrorists are threatening our society more than these harmless pictures.

well, eminem seems fairly inteligent to me, and he swears a fucking lot... i dont see how swearing can lower ones intelligence

It doesn't lower ones intelligence, It merely appears that way.

True story, I've read the book.

Well I would hope you can fucking swear. You can post big fat snatch photos, it would be rediculous(sp?) to edit words.

It's 18 or over. Just do what you'd do if you were up front in a room full of adults. If you'd feel comfortable swearing then, you might as well stick to it here.

Nothing like a swearword here or there to throw in some fucking emphasis.

SHIT PISS CUNT FUCK MOTHERFUCKER COCKSUCKER

and tits.
